I've also seen stories of lawyers submitting legal briefs with their entire prompt conversations still embedded in their documents because they never even proofread the slop

Should be instantly disbarred. Lazy a.f. Perhaps only as good as the tool who uses it. High school kids guilty of this too.

Couldn't agree more. How much has been made already by AI gimmick slop apps, basically vehicles for selling ads, and AI songs on spotify, Youtube ad revenue from AI videos etc. I think there's a little kickback. A friend of mine created an AI video for Instagram/Facebook for his 4x4 accessory company because he was time poor and skill poor and the customer base did not appreciate it because it lacked authenticity, which is ironically exactly what he's about. I hope there's kickback!

I do think it's moving exponentially and we can't possibly imagine what comes next, because our human minds just can't compute it.
